That should have been the end of the discussion, actually... I would make this argument about any player at any position - even if we didn't need one... QB, WR, whatever...

Think of it this way... you're getting a 1st round talent in the 4th round... even if you don't get him fully recovered until next year... Try trading a 4th round pick this year for a 1st round pick next year... see what happens

Yup.. that's a very good point. I've pretty much seen every game of this guys career and if he's available in the 4th... you TAKE him as long as medically, he's fine... By "fine", I mean he's expected to recover and his rehab is one schedule which appears to be a "YES". According to reports, he is 3 months ahead of schedule. With that being said, I would still bring him along slowly....

If Wells isn't healthy I don't want him either. I don't want Lattimore because he is a "may never be" RB. If he couldn't get through the last two years in the SEC what makes anyone think he count survive the NFL. The kid healthy is 1st round talent. If there were zero concerns in the FOs he would still be 1st round talent. He will go where he goes because he is a risk and he may not have a long career. For his sake I hope he rights his own story.

He is a great kid with a big heart . I wish him all the luck in the world. I know he wants to follow his dream. Good luck to him. Anyone in here that played the game knows what challenge lies ahead. Never show weakness. For his sake I hope the ugly side of the game doesn't bite him. I don't want him as a Steeler. He could prove me and the world wrong in another uniform.
